UEFA Champions League ’hopefulls’ Tottenham Hotspurs were shocked at home today as bottom of the league Wigan Athletic managed a deserved 1-0 win – their first of the season, after two embarrasing home losses in a row. Surely, that will shut the mouths of all those delusional Spurs fans who think that they’ll actually go far in this year’s competition for Europe’s Elite sides! (Ahem…Man City & Liverpool…)
Arsenal managed to retain second spot in the table in the early game after a hard-fought victory with plenty of grit, as THEO WALCOTT – the man bang in form – helped them to a 2-1 win with his 4th goal already in this years EPL.
Chelsea stayed top with a slightly unconvincing 2-0 over Stoke City, who will feel let down for not getting something in the game. DIDIER DROGBA added to his goal tally again. While WAYNE ROONEY scored for the first time since March as his Man Utd. side easily overcame a poor West Ham United 3-0 at Old Trafford.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS 0-1 WIGAN ATHLETIC
Champions League? You’re having a laugh! Spurs cannot be serious after this dismal and lacklustre performance today. They didn’t show up, they were almost outfought and outplayed, and they were a shadow of the same side that convincingly beat Stoke and Young Boys in the past week.
To be fair, that would be taking away credit from Wigan. They were, as even Harry Redknapp admitted, deserved winners. They had a point to prove after conceding 10, scoring 0 and losing both their EPL games so far, both of which were at home. They set up defensively, but paradoxically the stats show that it was the away side who had the better of the chances on goal and used the ball a lot better. Hugo Rodallega was basically left alone up front against Spurs’ first choice 11 and he still managed to get them a victory. The truth of the situation is that it should’ve been a 2 or 3-0 victory. 1-0 was very leniant. Inter Milan probably can’t wait till their trip to Three Point Lane!
Apart from a couple of JERMAIN DEFOE chances, Spurs offered nothing else. Infact, Gouhouri of C’IV was closest to scoring first for Wigan, smashing a cross-bar from a corner after abysmal defending by BENOIT ASSOU-EKOTTO unbelievably rubbish.
Crouchy was taken off at half-time, and his replacement Pavlyuchenko, as usual, did nothing.
Wigan finally scored 10 minutes from time as the lively HUGO RODALLEGA of Colombia finished off delightfully into the corner. That was the last of 3 moves in a minite in which Wigan could’ve scored. Defender Alcaraz of Paraguay (played in the World Cup) somehow missed an open goal just moments before.
the game pettered out with Kranjcar and Kaboul trying their best for the hosts without reward. Wigan goalie Ali Al-Habsi was awesome in the few times that he was needed to make saves.
Poor, poor day for the Gold-Cocks. That’s what happens when you get ahead of yourselves!

Closing out a day of tennis fun, the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato took the stage at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City on Saturday (August 28).

The “Camp Rock 2″ stars gave the energetic performance as part of the annual 2010 Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day coming ahead of the US Open tennis tournament.

Of the family friendly event, Michael Fiur, the executive producer of Arthur Ashe Day, said, “We think it’s one of the great ways to learn, not only sports skills but life skills. For kids to become leaders, for kids to improve their education, there are all kinds of scholarship programs. So it’s really about combining sports and education through the USTA’s community tennis programs.”

Currently out on bond after a late night arrest on Friday (August 27), Paris Hilton’s booking mug shot from her Las Vegas cocaine arrest has been released.

Still dolled up in her partying ensemble, the hotel heiress offered up a small smile as she waited for her newly-hired lawyer, David Chesnoff, to get her released on her own recognizance.

Meanwhile, Miss Hilton has since denied that the purse in which police found the illegal substance belongs to her.

Her attorney released a statement addressing the matter, telling, “This matter will be dealt with in the courts not in the media and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law. There will be no interviews and no more comments at this time.”

Paris Hilton was arrested last night in Las Vegas after being found in possession of cocaine, according to TMZ.

According to police, Paris was the passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over outside the Wynn Hotel. The driver was arrested for DUI (drug-related, not alcohol) and when cops searched Hilton, they found her in possession of a controlled substance.
Police say tests revealed the substance to be cocaine.
She was arrested and released on her own recognizance.

Oy vey. You know we’re going to hear more about this, so stay tuned…
Update: TMZ reports that Paris is using a defense similar to what she claimed in South Africa.

Sources who have spoken with Paris since her arrest on the Vegas strip late last night tell TMZ … she insists the purse — with what we’re told contained a small amount of cocaine — was not hers.

Paris has hired “powerful” defense attorney David Chesnoff to handle her defense. Although she was the only woman in the car when police stopped it, apparently there were other women in the car earlier that evening.

Yeah, ’cause women leave their purses behind all the time. Do you think Paris will manage to get away with this again? (imnotobsessed)

On October 25, Taylor Swift comes out with a new album titled “Speak Now.”

We’ve already given readers a look at its cover art, but now we’re excited to go even more in depth with the singer. What was the song-writing process like for the CD? What would she consider to be its theme?

Swift answers all these questions and more in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Check out excerpts from it now:

On coming up with new tracks: It’s just such a fun challenge to constantly be writing and constantly be trying to top what you just wrote. It’s one of my favorite games to play – trying to beat what I’ve written last. What I wrote last is something I got really excited about when I wrote it, but I know I could write something better. It’s just a really fun thing to go through.

On connecting to the material: I think that whatever I go through in life will be directly reflected in my music. If I have a bunch of different experiences with a bunch of different people and some of them are good and some of them are bad and some of them are confusing, you have an album like this… I like to feel like I’ve covered every emotion that I’ve felt in the last two years.

On the single “Sparks Fly:” It’s a song that the fans have been talking to me about in meet-and-greet lines for the last two years. So I revisited it, and I breathed some new life into it, lyrically and from a production standpoint. I’m really excited about the way it turned out.

On a summation of the CD: It’s a collection of confessions, things I wish I had said when I was in the moment. (thehollywoodgossip)

We’re used to seeing hottie Alessandra Ambrosio in tiny bikinis or sexy lingerie, with her super toned and tanned body and with natural, beachy make-up and hair. Well, remove all that, add white skin powder, a darker hair shade and some red hot lips and there you go: the cover of Love Magazine.

Stepping out for a little mother/daughter bonding, Jessica Alba was spotted treating young Honor Marie Warren to breakfast in West Hollywood, CA on Saturday (August 28).

The “Sin City” actress proudly toted her two-year-old in her arms as they worked their way to family favorite The Griddle Cafe on Sunset Blvd for the day-beginning grub.

Keeping active to begin the weekend, Jess spent the previous evening out for dinner and chit-chat with her lady friends at Boa Steakhouse.

The sightings come as Miss Alba is in the midst of promoting her new movie “Machete” – which hits theaters on Friday, September 3rd.

The 29-year-old also just announced plans to star in Robert Rodriguez’s “Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World.”

Robert, who also directed “Machete,” told MTV of picking Jessica for his hit franchise, “I was so inspired, seeing her on [the 'Machete'] set trying to be beautiful for the camera and yet having to [run off] to change her baby’s diaper. I thought, ‘You know what, that would be great as a spy mom, I’ve got to write that in.”

Sure enough, that’s exactly what he did, as Rodriguez adds, “I wrote that into the script, based on her.”
